Cam Newton
quote:
Ten-year-old Elijah Hughes loves Halloween. It's his favorite holiday. He is also battling a rare form a cancer, and doctors are unsure if he'll make it to October 31. A community rallied around the little boy, and on Friday night they held Halloween early. Elijah dressed like The Joker, dozens of children joined him in wearing their costumes early -- and there was one surprise guest.
Cam Newton had heard about the party and not only did the NFL quarterback make an appearance, he brought an ice cream truck and brownies. Then spent the evening with the kids and helped make everyone forget why they were there -- which is everything.

If he had dressed like Superman, i'd given him a GOAT vote.

People can say what they want about him, but he really cares about other people. Give him props.

Yep. I don't like him, but he does some awesome stuff that he doesn't have to. Goes above and beyond for sure.

Cam continues to surprise... Couldn't stand the guy, but he continues to go out of his way and do shite like this.
Damn you Cam
Damn you Cam

Cam is a hard guy to hate on off the field.

What a great kid, he's definitely done some shite, but so awesome to see a young man in his position using his status to benefit others even in the smallest way.

Call me a cynic, but I bet this whole thing was put on by Under Armor's PR crew. They probably look for opportunities like this and then get Cam to go to the event to help with his image.

Still don't like the guy, think he's way overrated as a QB. But similar to Cena, he seems a stand up guy and I'm glad he can use his popularity to make other people happy.

Good for him. He didn't have to do that, but he did.

Even if this is what happened, which I don't think it is, it doesn't matter to the people he does this for. I doubt they think about any of the crazy shite the people on TD come up with.

Doesnt matter that much to the people that were there, they enjoyed the ice cream and probably had a good time there.

I think I hate him so much because I wish he was in Atlanta. He's solid 100%.
